CLOTHES-LINE.

Application filed April 11, 1916. Serial No. 90,434.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, EMILY V. PAGE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented new and useful Improvements in Olothes-Lines, of" which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to supports for clothes lines and it consists in the novel features hereinafter describedand claimed.

An object of the invention is to provide a support of simple and durable structure adapted to be applied to a window frame and which cooperates with an arm spaced from the window frame in holding lines whereby the clothes may be hung upon the same and moved out beyond the window frame for drying. The part of the support which is applied to the window frame also serves as a fender and which tends to prevent accident by falling from the window by the operator when applying the clothes to the lines or removing the same therefrom.

let

In the accompanying drawings Figure 1 is a perspective view of the clothes line support.

Fig. 2 is a side view of the same.

Fig. 3 is a detail plan View of the intermediate portion of the support.

As illustrated in the accompanying drawing, the window frame 1 is of the usual pattern and plates 2 are applied to the side portions thereof. A rod 3 is attached at its ends to the plates 2 and the intermediate portion of the said rod is outwardly bowed with relation to the frame 1. The rod 3 is provided at a point between its ends with an eye 4 to which is connected a double pulley block 5. Hooks 6 are mounted upon the plates 2 below the rod 3 and pulley blocks 7 are connected with the said hooks. A pole8 is positioned beyond the outer side of the frame 1 and carries a cross arm 9 connected thereto by a hook and eye 12. Pulley blocks 10 are connected with the end portions of the arm 9 and lines 11 are trained around the pulleys of the block 10. The outermost runs of the lines 11 are trained around the pulleys of the block 7 and theinnermost runs of the said lines are trained around the pulleys of the block 5 and then extend to the pulleys of the block 10 as best'shown in Fig. 1 of the drawing.

It will be observed that the block 5 is Uopies of this. patent may be obtained for five cents each, by addressing Specification of Letters Patent.

located at a higher point than the block 7 consequently the innermost runs of the lines 11 are located above the outer runs of the said lines.

When the clothes are applied to the lines they are secured to the outermost runs by fender and may prevent the person who is I applying the clothes to the lines or removing the same therefrom from falling from the window.

From the foregoing description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawing it will be seen that a clothes line support of simple and durable structure is provided and that the same may be easily and quickly manipulated for carrying the clothes out beyond the window frame in order that they may dry and also the support may be quickly manipulated for moving the clothes in a direction toward the window frame when it is desired to remove the clothes from the lines.

Having described the invention claimed is A clothes line support comprising a rod adapted to be attached to a support, a pulley block carried at the intermediate portion of the rod, other pulley blocks located adjacent the ends of the rod, an arm adapted to be attached to a support, pulley blocks located adjacent the ends of the arm, and lines trained about the pulley blocks at the ends of the rod and arm, and having their intermediate portion trained about the pulleys of the block located at the intermediate portion of the rod.

what is In testimony whereof, I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
